“…Nitrification and thus NO emission is favoured by a coniferous forest floor because of the aerobic conditions in the litter and the lower water content. Another explanation of the large difference in NO emission from spruce and beech forest might be that the filtering capacity of the much denser spruce forests is higher than that of beech forests and thus the throughfall carries a higher amount of deposited N from the atmosphere to the forest floor [35].…”

Nitric oxide (NO) is a reactive gas that plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry by influencing the production and destruction of ozone and thereby the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere. NO also contributes by its oxidation products to the formation of acid rain. The major sources of NO in the atmosphere are anthropogenic emissions (from combustion of fossil fuels) and biogenic emission from soils. NO is both produced and consumed in soils as a result of biotic and abiotic processes. The main processes involved are microbial nitrification and denitrification, and chemodenitrification. Thus, the net result is complex and dependent on several factors such as nitrogen availability, organic matter content, oxygen status, soil moisture, pH and temperature. This paper reviews recent knowledge on processes forming NO in soils and the factors controlling its emission to the atmosphere. Schemes for simulating these processes are described, and the results are discussed with the purpose of scaling up to global emission.

“…After desulphurisation of pollution sources during the 90s, ambient air quality improved rapidly, though forest ecosystems did not respond in the same way. Acid deposition led to base cations leaching from upper soil horizons and then to crown transparency (Materna 1986, Rothe et al 2002, Lomský & Šrámek 2004. Soil acidification by sulphur and N compounds can cause both a loss of base cations and mobilization of aluminium and other metal compounds, and it has many consequences on forest vitality and vulnerability to other stress factors (De Vries et al 2000, Schaaf et al 2004.…”

“…The contribution of each of the two pathways is mainly dependent on the nature of elements, foliage properties and rain water acidity (Rothe et al 2002a;Stachurski and Zimka 2002;Langusch et al 2003;Hagen-Thorn et al 2006;Lovett et al 1996). In order to find the best solution to maintain the soil nutrient status in a given environmental condition it is of crucial importance to know how the chemistry and amounts of throughfall and litterfall depend on changes in canopy composition.…”

“…Hence, throughfall samples under spruce are, in general, richer in elements compared to throughfall samples under beech in the same site condition (Růžička 1994;Meesenburg et al 1995;Rothe et al 2002a;Oulehle and Hruška 2005). The pH of the throughfall under spruce is normally lower than under beech because spruce captures higher hydrogen loads from the atmosphere and has a lower capacity for proton buffering compared with broad-leaved species (Stachurski and Zimka 2002).…”

Canopy composition as a measure to identify patterns of nutrient input in a mixed European beech and Norway spruce forest in central Europe

The influence of canopy composition on litterfall and throughfall was investigated in a mixed spruce beech forest in central Germany. We hypothesised that different parts of the mixed canopy created distinct patterns of element inputs via litterfall and throughfall. The investigation was carried out in two plots, representing the most contrasting cases of mixed forests: a stand greatly dominated by spruce (SDP) and a stand greatly dominated by beech (BDP). The canopies of the two plots were classified in four categories: pure beech, pure spruce, mixed canopy and gap. Amounts of throughfall water were lower and major element fluxes were higher under spruce than under beech in both plots, indicating that the nutrient inputs under the canopies of individual trees are driven by speciesspecific properties of the canopies and are quite independent of the degree of admixture. With the exception of K ? , mixed canopies showed intermediate element inputs via throughfall, compared with pure canopy classes. The K ? input was significantly greater under mixed canopies, and these differences were more pronounced in the SDP than in the BDP. Results suggest that individual spruce trees in the BDP induce greater spatial heterogeneity of throughfall input than individual beech trees in the SDP. Nutrient inputs via foliar litterfall were similar among the different canopy classes, but the Mg input was lower under spruce canopy. This effect was balanced by higher Mg input via spruce throughfall. In our study, throughfall was the main source of heterogeneity in nutrient inputs, while foliar litterfall had a homogenising effect.
